Is it possible to put a normal camera mode this system? Because the command "disable" doesn't disable the system completely off. I would appreciate

This is a Camera System I created on a hour in GUI. It is fully MPI, and works good.
Anyway, this system allows all players to change the views with the Arrowkeys. The things avaible to change is:
- Distance from a Target.
- Rotation.
- Angle of Attack.
Those three I thought were the most important things.
Well, this system is easy to copy and paste, a lot of comments inside map, also a tutorial on how to copy and paste a Spell/Tutorial, easy.
Well, download the System, check it out, read the comments inside, and comment here!

> And finally added a Ingame Screen Shot
UPDATE (Version 2a):
> I've made the system run faster and I've increased the period loop from 0.02 > 0.03 to avoid abit lagg.
> Fixed a leak (Player Group leak).
> Added a new command (-unstuck) this will unstuck your camera from a unit.
> Added a new trigger that allow you to change your cameraunit.
> Added an option that allow you to pick if you want the players to be able to stuck their camera to friends units.
> Fixed that when your camera unit dies, your camera will be automatically reseted and unstucked.
UPDATE (Version 2b):
> Fixed an issue with the rotating of the camera. Before the camera could spin heavily around and didn't stop, but it's fixed now.
> Added an function called
You can simply edit the event to the one you want.
UPDATE (Version 2c)
> Added an option that allow you to change the maximum and minimum distance the camera can be from an unit and the maximum and minimum height your camera can have.
UPDATE (Version 2d)
> The four variables MaxDistance, MinDistance, MaxAngleOfAttack and MinAngleOfAttack are now arrays to allow players to have different values.

I remember i checked this system very long ago...
You can try to turn off the loop and reset the camera mamually, and turn on the loop when you want it again

Hi. Long-time lurker and 5+ years late to this party but wanted to post anyway...
Here is my fix to the camera height issue (the one that makes the cam too high when the unit climbs a hill or otherwise traverses to higher places):
You may need to play with the numbers a bit or potentially add more variation to the adjustment to fit your map. This worked well enough for my purposes. Thank you for the great cam system!

Hey, this camera is cool, but when I copy it to my map it dont work. I got compile error because CameraOn function is undefined, but called in Enable Camera Example and Disable Camera Example trigger. Can not find it definition nowhere in System map, yet there it somehow works. Any suggestions?
Also, when I Disable camera it is still locked to place. You may click on minimap but can not scroll away. Is this how it should be? I would like to be able to disable camera to return normal game camera... and then enable it back again.

Did you check the map’s custom script section? (Click the icon of the map in the trigger editor list of triggers.)

You were right, it is there. Thank you!
To that point, I must say this would be nice to be mentioned in comment about "how to copy spell" instead of cool story about writing it down on paper took years. Also, the function does nothing else than set CameraEnabled variable for specific player. I see no reason for custom function like this.

The system was made in 2008 and hasn’t been updated since 2010; that’s why. I agree and it could all be made more compact now but it’s the way it had to be made at the time.

As I rememeber, it was always possible to set boolean variable normal way. But it is unimportant.

I meant it being in the CS section and also not done automatically via an initializer is an artifact of its age.

Well you did put that function in your CS section or encapsulate it in a library yes?
